The Importance of Furthering our Knowledge
- Sum of Life focuses entirely on Mental Health. The main goal here is to try to help put people in the right direction, and for people to find the best help that they need. I focus a lot on anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. However, other mental illnesses such as depression, body dysmorphia, etc. are discussed.
- I tend to call upon 'Instagram-Therapy' accounts that I believe are spouting ideas I personally disagree with in regards to Mental Health. This is deeply important to me.
- If you care at all for Mental Health, bettering Mental Health, or the best way to find help for Mental Health disorders & illnesses, then this show is just for you. And always remember, everyone is different and everyone heals differently. Please take a listen to one of my podcast episodes or follow me on Instagram @sumoflifeofficial!
